Chapter 54 (2/2)
As soon as he said this, the metal-mask man’s hands that were clutching his bow and arrow trembled restlessly. He was a father, and the thing that caused a father the most anger was seeing any of his children’s lives being ruined, let alone both of them.
Negary didn’t care much for the metal mask man’s anger, or perhaps the angrier he became, the happier he would feel. At certain points, anger was also a kind of power.
〖 It was quite unfortunate that I couldn’t devour the Church of Divine Grace’s Bukittel’s soul. Hopefully, the rest of you would be similarly delectable 〗with just a few words, he riled the anger of all the priests and knights of Divine Grace.
〖 And you, Chris 〗Negary finally placed his gaze on this legendary adventurer: 〖 If you don’t want your secret to coming to light, then risk everything you have and fight 〗
〖 Believe me, news travels easily and they travel fast from Reya to other parts of the continent. If you lose, all of that person’s and your efforts up to this point will have been nothing but wasted 〗
Negary’s words caused Chris’ pupils to contract. He didn’t ask how Negary noticed or found out his secret, that was no longer important, the only thing he needed to do now was to triumph over Negary.
“Stop your chit chat and let’s do this” Jason’s eyes were burning with the flames of anger as he raised his bow and aimed at Negary.
Chris, the Knight of Divine Grace Myerson as well as another knight of Divine Grace all charged at Negary at once, the two knights immediately used their Grace of Protection to protect themselves while their swords were clad in the Grace of Justice, swearing to cut this devil down with their swords.
Jason, the metal-masked man as well as a cooperator who joined the raid party for his own reasons raised their bows and unleashed a barrage of attacks to interfere with Negary’s actions.
Augustin and his disciple, Luen Donner, both used their Grace of Understanding to watch out for Negary’s tricks and occasionally used the Grace of Salvation to dispel some of the germs that filled the air.
Smick once again concealed his figure and waited for a chance to unleash a fatal strike.
The other masked combatants who joined them from Reya decided to slack off at this point, these people were sent out from their respective forces who came from outside Reya, they participated in this battle in order to earn as many benefits as possible. As far as they were concerned, the more intense Negary’s battle with the others was, the better it was for them, they only needed to make sure to protect their own safety.
Being ganged up on by this lineup, Negary was constantly swinging the blades on his wrists. The swords of the knights of Divine Grace were reinforced by their Grace of Justice, allowing them to remain intact. Chris was a lot calmer than they were, only throwing the occasional punch while he mainly observed the situation.
〖 If you don’t intend to fight, you can die first 〗Negary’s gaze suddenly stared straight at the two masked fighters at the back who were slacking off. He ignored everyone else’s attacks and swung both arms forward, the two blades attached to his wrist suddenly detached themselves and pierced through those two’s bodies.
“My Lord grants me the Grace of Justice so that I shall cut down the darkness!” the knight of Divine Grace didn’t waste this chance and slashed straight at Negary’s neck with his reinforced sword. Under the effect of the Grace of Justice, the sword cut through him like a hot knife through butter and decapitated Negary’s head.
But as soon as he finished his strike, he noticed that the sensation wasn’t quite right. The cut on Negary’s neck revealed the inside to be completely empty, while the head that was cut off abruptly exploded and splattered liquids of various colours all over.
Negary’s headless body split apart by itself to reveal a smaller, younger-looking Negary inside, covered with white liquid, who slashed upward with his hand. The nails at the tip of fingers were razor-sharp, immediately broke through the knight’s Grace of Protection from below, pierced into the knight’s neck and lifted his head off his neck.
